The global environment, precious to us, our future generations and every living species, is now facing great challenges such as global warming, desertification, acid rain, and depletion of ozone layer and tropical rain forests. Major catalysts for such phenomenon are our social and industrial behaviors. To address these issues, immediate environmental protection measures must be taken on a global scale.
As a company buttressing industrial growth on a large scale, we place the highest priority in fulfilling corporate social responsibility recognizing it as one of the most important management missions. Environmental initiative is its central objective and we strive to preserve the environment through all aspects of the business activities by establishing our environmental policy.
In 2007, we obtained “ISO14001” for all of our offices and two subsidiary companies. We encourage environmental initiatives throughout the organization by operating strictly structured environmental management system, while focusing on activities such as energy and resources conservation, environmental hazardous materials reduction and 3R activities (activities to promote the reduction, reuse, and recycling of materials).
We contribute to environment in terms of manufacturing. For instance, we design products such as a plate-type heat converter and an end plate, a component of a nickel-hydrogen battery for a hybrid car, which requires metal connecting technologies. Our FA system center is developing a lighting device powered by a solar panel. Thus we continually strive to maximize environmental conservation by leveraging our technologies as a manufacturing company. |
